Noting the Nasdaq Bank Index is only peeling a little gains off of the table from the tremendously strong gains of the month. This, along with some other things, has me not at all satisfied that a risk off environment is deep enough to result in hyperbolic prognostications of crashes and tops and bubbles and the see I told you so crowd. It makes perfect sense to me that institutions would be simply maneuvering in response to the geopolitical conditions of the past two weeks. That does not mean we won’t have some sell cycles along the way. The very strong gains immediately following Trump seemingly taking over in some sectors was another counter-argument to the “if he is elected the end of the world is near” crowd. The one sector that has me concerned is real estate, followed by retail, followed by the automotive sector, and then the energy sector.
That said, bears who celebrate could get what is called a “haircut” when the intermediate pre-election re-allocation/hedge phase starts to run dry.
